Data data;
for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
{
data.A = 40;
data.B = 41;
data.C = 42;
data.D = 43;
data.E = 44;
converter.datas.Add(data);

byte[] arrByte = converter.ObjectToByteArray(converter.datas);
}
}
}
In the above program, still i am using objecttobytearray conversion in thread also it will be slow(ie Exe is hang for few seconds)
